It’s finally here! A day I’ve long been awaiting. A day when little A will be sent off to school with a bag full of Valentine booty for all his little preschool mates to enjoy.
Oh how I love Valentines. Hands down some of my favorite memories as a child were cutting doilies and red and pink construction paper hearts and applying them to a self-made mail/shoe boxes of sorts in preparation of the wonderful flood of cards and candy to be received by peers. When it was all over I’d sit in my room sorting through my loot, picking out which cards I liked best. I remember Garfield and Peanuts cards were usually on the top of the list. Oh what magical school memories (second only to the Halloween costume parades and cotton ball Santa beards).
In honor of this momentous occasion little A and I have decided to share our Pirate Valentines with all of you. Simply download the boy and girl pirate sheets and get started.
You can then print these onto white or colored card stock. From there you simply cut out felt heart eye patches and then stitch across the paper, write a cute piratey saying such as “you’re gRRReat!” and the front of the card is complete.
You can get creative with the candy. Here little A and I did variations of gummy hearts sealed in sewn wax paper and lollies stitched right onto the back of the cards.
Little A can hardly contain himself. He can’t wait to dress up as a pirate and deliver his treasure to all his friends. He also can’t wait to have a lolly, so I slipped a little card in his bag just for him, from mommy.
Now all I need is a box (or two) of chocolates, conversation heart cookies and a night out with Jon and my V-day celebrations will be complete.

Thank you for sharing such cute valentines. Many of our families at littlefoureyes.com have little kids that must patch one eye for vision therapy. I have linked to your post, as patching is tough and these little pirates make it look very cute!

These are super cute! I found the link on babble.com! So adorable! I’m glad I stumbled on your blog…it’s adorable!! Thank you!!
These are awesome. Perfect for my pirate-crazed daughter! We can’t do food gifts in her class due to allergies so I think I’ll make each of the kids a little felt heart eyepatch of their own to match the valentine. Thanks so much!!!
Oh my, how fun is this!!? Love this idea, so creative! I just wanted to let you know I featured this on my blog today: http://vixenmade.blogspot.com/2012/01/free-printable-friday-valentine-ideas.html

Thanks for the printable…I just whipped these up for my 3-yr-old pirate-lover. Cute and so easy!
You can attach the heart patches with a glue stick to make it even easier. I used glitter red and purple felt, tiny gold adhesive gems for earrings and gold teeth, and attached gold-foiled chocolate coins to the back in little plastic baggies, to make the pirate theme complete! A couple more message ideas: “I treasure your friendship, Valentine!” and “Arrrr you going to be my valentine!” Thanks for the inspiration. The kids in my daughter’s class will love them!
Thank you ! Love the pirates for my boys’ friends.
Thanks so much for the printable. We just finished making some for my daughter. She has to wear an eye patch sometimes to help her weak eye get stronger, so these are perfect. She’s going to deliver her Valentines wearing her own pirate eye patch and pirate dress.
“Arrrrrrrrgh!” (That’s from my daughter.)
Oh Polly I love your story and your darling daughter. Happy Valentines!

Thank you so much for the printable. I sat down with my 5 yo daughter and 8 yo son and made valentines. I printed “You’re grrreat!”, “I lurrrrve you!” and “You arrrrre sweet!” at the top of each. Printed them on pastel coloured cardstock. The kids signed their names, put a heart-shaped sticker on each and then I stapled an individually wrapped candy to the back.
Thanks for creating something fun for us to make!
oh man these are fab!
so nice to meet you sat.
I saw these when you first posted them – and I finally was able to use them this year! SO THANK YOU!! I’ll link to you when I blog!
great valentine! my 7-yr. old loves it! as we were short on time, we substituted the felt heart with a heart sticker which he and his almost 3-yr. old sister helped me with sticking on as the eyepatch. thank you!
Hey Dear, your files arrrr off
peace
Ahmo
